I am very interested in visiting Highclere castle and have never been before. I am planning on visiting on Sunday Aug 28 traveling from London, but do not have a pre-booked ticket, nor am I interested in taking a bus tour there. What are my chances of getting a walk up ticket that day (does anybody know how many daily walk up tickets they have)? And what time should I show up to increase my chances of getting a walk up ticket? The website says 2 pm, but I feel like that is late, so is there any advantage for showing up earlier?
Thanks.
